About This Treatment

PRP —
Platelet Rich Plasma

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) is one of the most natural regenerative treatments available. A small amount of your own blood is drawn and processed in a centrifuge to concentrate the platelets — the cells responsible for wound healing and tissue repair. This platelet-rich concentrate is then reinjected into the skin or scalp.

The concentrated growth factors in PRP stimulate fibroblasts to produce new collagen and elastin, improve tissue vascularity, and accelerate the skin's natural repair processes. Because PRP uses your own biology, it is completely biocompatible — there is no risk of allergic reaction.

At DermaMedica, PRP is used both for facial rejuvenation and for hair restoration, where it stimulates dormant follicles and improves the scalp environment for healthier, denser hair growth. It is frequently combined with exosomes or polynucleotides for enhanced results.

How It Works

The treatment
process.

Blood Draw

A small blood sample (similar to a routine blood test) is taken from your arm and placed in a specialised centrifuge tube.

Centrifugation

The tube is spun at high speed to separate the platelet-rich plasma from the red blood cells, concentrating the growth factors that drive tissue repair.

Reinjection

The concentrated PRP is injected into the skin or scalp using fine needles, delivering growth factors directly to the target tissue where they activate the body's natural repair cascade.

Your Treatment Journey

Before

Avoid blood-thinning medications, alcohol and strenuous exercise for 48 hours.

During

Blood is drawn, processed and reinjected in the same session. A topical anaesthetic can be applied. 45–60 minutes total.

After

Mild redness, swelling and pinpoint bruising for 24–48 hours. Avoid exercise, sun and alcohol for 24 hours.

Results

Initial improvements in skin quality from 4–6 weeks. For hair, early changes in hair quality in 2–3 months; density improvements over 6 months.

Longevity

Results last 6–12 months. A course of 3 sessions is recommended for optimal outcomes, with maintenance annually.

Common Questions

Everything you
need to know.

Is PRP really effective?

PRP has extensive scientific evidence supporting its use in both skin rejuvenation and hair restoration. It has been used in orthopaedics and wound healing for decades. In aesthetic medicine, it is well-established for improving skin quality, radiance and hair density.

Is it safe?

Because PRP uses your own blood, there is no risk of allergy or rejection. It is one of the safest regenerative treatments available.

How does PRP for hair differ from PRP for skin?

The process is the same — but the injection technique and areas treated differ. For hair, PRP is injected into the scalp to stimulate follicles. For skin, it is injected into the dermis to improve skin quality and radiance.

How many sessions will I need?

A course of 3 sessions spaced 4 weeks apart is recommended for optimal results, followed by maintenance sessions every 6–12 months.

Can PRP be combined with microneedling?

Yes — the "vampire facial" combines microneedling with topical PRP application. The micro-channels allow deep penetration of the growth factors for amplified results.

How is PRP different from exosomes?

PRP uses growth factors from your own blood. Exosomes are cellular signalling molecules from external cell lines. Both are regenerative but work through different mechanisms — they are often used together for comprehensive results.
